N6240 hardware features

The IBM® System Storage® N6240 storage controllers are designed to interoperate with products capable of data transmission in the industry-standard iSCSI, CIFS, FCP and NFS protocols. Supported systems include the IBM eServer System p®, System i® (NFS only), System x®, and System z® (NFS only) servers.

The N6240 systems consist of the Model C21, Model E11, Model E21, and associated software. All models can be configured, via optional features, to be either storage controllers or gateways. Dual-node configurations include Clustered Failover (CFO) support (via required feature), designed to provide failover and failback function, helping improve overall availability. All N6240 models must be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. None of the N6240 models include storage in the base chassis.

See the Interoperability Matrix at the following web page for supported devices for your N series system.
